Ethan Hunt x Hope Poem by @mumblesplash

[allthespecificity]

ok ik we joke about all these supposedly "impossible" missions actually being possible but what if those were the only missions ethan actually completed. what if the movies only show his successful missions and every other time he's just a complete failure. unrealistic but funny

speaking my truth

i love ilsa, i LOVE ilsa, and rebecca ferguson is one of my favourite actors, but if they retcon her death in MI:8 then it will absolutely fuck me off?

i love the fact there's stakes

i love the fact that not the entire crew is going to walk out alive from MI:8

i love the fact that it truly is an endgame scenario and not all of it comes out alright in the end - if everyone's going to live on then there's zero point in being invested in the narrative?

please tell me someone else understands this

Our lives are not defined by any one action, Our lives are the sum of our choices.

"why we build the wall" from hadestown is really gonna trip up future media analysis students. they'll be like "ah a piece of media from the 2010s referencing building a wall to keep out the poor, clearly this is a reference to the president of the united states from 2016-2020", and then their professor will have to be like "actually the concept album for this musical came out in 2010"

So what could this be? The Entity taunting Ethan with his past "failures"?

ethan hunt's character being defined by "hunt is the living manifestation of destiny" and "that's the pattern isn't it? you refusing to sacrifice the ones you hold close" is actually the most inspired choice of all time.

The thing about Ethan Hunt is though, that he could take the easy way out every time. He could not care about people he doesn’t know. He could value the life of those he does know as less than his own. He could turn his back on the IMF and what it stands for at its core like they turned their back on him multiple times. He could choose not to accept the mission and leave it to someone else—someone who might not care if innocent people get hurt so long as the mission is accomplished.

But he doesn’t.

He accepts every goddamn time, because to him, even if he loses a part of himself every time, that’s better than the alternative.

He bears the weight of the world on his shoulders and it’s not fair, and he knows it, but he does it anyway.

Ethan is so important to me, for all this and more. But a lot of it is this.

I just think it’s nice that for years, dreary dorks have said like “tom cruise should go into space” but meanwhile, the Mission movies are getting more classical with mcquarrie if anything. Opera houses! Trains! Biplanes! Fun little cars like almost from the original Italian Job. The president of movies is going to defeat the AI by showing it a buster keaton stunt! Let’s fucking go the movies!!!
